Dr. Joy DeGruy grew up in Los Angeles in a politically aware family that embraced a confident and proud sense of their Black identity. However, as she matured, she noticed that not everyone shared this same relationship with their identity. For instance, she observed how people would sometimes weaponize the word "Black" as an added insult when aiming to demean others. Dr. DeGruy pursued academic degrees in communications and social work, a master's in clinical psychology, and ultimately earned a PhD in social work research. This diverse academic foundation culminated in her seminal work Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury. In this book, Dr. DeGruy introduces an explanatory theory that draws clear connections between the survival strategies developed by enslaved people and the contemporary experiences of African Americans, highlighting how the long-enduring trauma of slavery continues to shape the present day.

What role does our ancestral history play in our attachment styles, and mental health as a whole? Joining us on the show to help answer this question is Dr. Jennifer Mullen, a psychologist, educator, and author of “Decolonizing Therapy!” Traditional therapy focuses on the individual, but decolonizing therapy puts forth the concept that understanding one's historical trauma and the current socio-political context can lead to deeper healing. And without a safe place to explore these traumas, affected populations don't have the same opportunity to heal themselves and their relationships. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Mullen dives into the impact colonization and our ancestral wounds have on our attachment, sense of belonging, and emotional expression. She covers topics like migration trauma, separation from your ancestral lands (referred to as the original attachment wound), and how our current culture perpetuates deep-seated intergenerational traumas that have a profound effect on the body and nervous system. Curious to learn more? Tune into our full conversation on decolonizing therapy now!

Episode description: Dante King, author of The 400-year Holocaust: White America's Legal, Psychopathic, and Sociopathic Black Genocide - and the Revolt Against Critical Race Theory, sits down with guest host Duran Rutledge (capacity building and technical assistance trainer at CAPTC) to reflect on what it means to be a Black person in a country where the colonial legacy of anti-Blackness and conceptions of whiteness and white supremacy have engrained racism into our legal structures, healthcare system, and more. King offers concrete examples of how these intergenerational and ongoing traumas show up, and examines the roles of empathy, re-education, and narrative in promoting transformation.

What is a body? For me, this question brings up so much about the science of it all. But right now, it also brings up thoughts about what it means to have a body, and specifically what it means to have a body with Black skin. If that question leads you there, too, you're not alone.

Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing is a 2005 theoretical work by Dr. Joy Degruy Leary. The book argues that the experience of slavery in the United States and the continued discrimination and oppression endured by African Americans creates intergenerational psychological trauma, leading to a psychological and behavioral syndrome common among present-day African Americans, manifesting as a lack of self-esteem, persistent feelings of anger, and internalized racist beliefs. The book was first published by Uptone Press in Milwaukie, Oregon in 2005, with a later re-release by the author in 2017. This is part 2 of the discussion on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome with Dr. Joy Degruy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theforefront/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theforefront/support

This week we define and break down this theory of intergenerational trauma that has been gaining exposure.

We also break into the genetic impact that trauma has on our DNA...prepare to be shook. Our focus for this week's show was not only about highlighting and informing people about this type of trauma but to share resources and tools to aid in the HEALING of intergenerational trauma. So, how to heal? Get some books!! There are some great reading materials that could help in a powerful way to find a starting place. Our resources (mentioned below) discuss the importance of harmony within your own family. This might involve family therapy, addressing past grievances, and forgiveness.

Con el episodio de hoy quiero honrar el Mes de la Historia de la Raza Negra y a mis raíces afro-latinas, lo cual me emociona pero al mismo tiempo me pone nerviosa por que es un tema muy cercano a mi experiencia personal y toca muchas sensibilidades. En los últimos años me he dedicado mas de lleno a estudiar mi ascendencia como parte de mi propio camino de sanación y he descubierto la forma en que estas vivencias de mis ancestros han moldeado mi vida. Gran parte de mi investigación reciente fue basada en el libro de la autora Dr. Joy DeGruy; Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome; America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing. Hoy los invito a que escuchen este episodio donde les comparto acerca del EPTE (Estrés Post-Traumatico de la Esclavitud), el impacto que ha tenido en tantas generaciones de personas y las formas e importancia de sanarlo. Las formas mas destacadas en las que el EPTE se presenta son: La paranoia (sentido de persecución por parte de gente blanca) Baja auto-estima Hiper-vigilancia Enojo Opresión Internalizada y sentimiento de inferioridad/colorismo. Es importante poder trabajar hacia la sanación y existen muchos niveles de sanación que pueden explorar. En este episodio también les comparto unos métodos que he logrado implementar en mi camino a superar el EPTE. Espero que puedan encontrar su propio camino y los invito a que compartan conmigo sus experiencias por que trabajando juntos podemos encontrar la resiliencia. Mi deseo es que esto les ayude de alguna forma y si tienes alguna pregunta no dudes en contactarme via email o DM.

In honor of Black History Month and my Afro-Latina roots I am thrilled and a little nervous to share today’s episode titled; Healing Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome. As I continue to learn about the journey of my ancestors, I have gained tremendous insight into my personal healing journey and how it has shaped my life. I also wanted t to mention that a good part of my research was based on a book by Dr. Joy DeGruy; Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome; America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing. Today I invite you to join me as I dive into the explanation of what is PTSS, the impacts that PTSS has had in so many lives, and the Importance of healing and ways we can heal. Some beliefs that are being validated and are not helpful; A generalized idea that all whites (previous oppressors) are out there to get you. Low self-esteem Hypervigilance Anger Internalized oppression and belief of inferiority/colorism. It's important to work towards healing, and there are multiple ways and levels you can explore. Below I share some that I find very important when it comes to your own healing journey: Family: the foundation. Food for life: the importance of healthy food. Generational lessons/resiliency. Becoming healthier. Regulating ourselves: learning when we go into fight/flight/freeze responses and the impact they have on our judgment and rational thinking. Telling our stories. Please tune in to the episode so you can hear all the ways of healing I share. I hope this is information that can provide some insight but know that I am open to feedback and would love to hear from your own experiences so we can help each other become more resilient.

In this episode we talk about Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, a term coined by Dr. Joy DeGruy, author of the Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing. We discuss the three manifestations of PTSS, and we give examples by sharing some of our own experiences on how they have shown up in our own lives. However, we have learned to take our power back by cultivating post traumatic growth in different ways, and we provide information and resources on how to heal.

In this episode Morgan Vanderpool LICSW draws from their vast experience to talk about trauma-informed awareness in the collective space and within the personal body. Morgan Vanderpool and Paul Krauss, MA LPC discuss how trauma affects the lives of people within the context of history and the origins of many systems of oppression. Further discussion continues with the intersections of systems of oppression and how this has affected the nervous systems, relationships, culture, economic systems, and cultural narratives of people, both past and present. Morgan Vanderpool offers some solutions and ideas for people attempting to survive systems of oppression, as well as working to organize and make a difference in their community.

#016: Dr. Frederick Engram provides an informative and eye-opening conversation on the subject of race.Did you know that racism was created long ago in civilization? Critical Race Theory suggests that race was constructed as a social concept by white people to further their economic and political interests at the expense of Black people. This is why whiteness and blackness exist in the first place. In this episode of Beyond the Culture, my guest is Dr. Frederick Engram. Dr. Fred is an assistant professor of instruction in the Department of Criminology, Criminal Justice, and the Center for African American Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington. He focuses his work on the lived experiences of African American graduate students enrolled at PWIs (predominantly white institutions). Dr. Engram explains Critical Race Theory in detail and the importance of the civil rights movements like Black Lives Matter in pushing towards reparations and change. Listen in to learn why honesty is the only way to move forward, even in the current political scene. Quotes: “Black people cannot in and of themselves be racist because race itself- whiteness and blackness- was socially constructed by white people.”- Dr. Engram [27:16]“We have to start telling the truth. For too long we have lived in a whitewashed environment that created this image of something that is completely false on average.”- Dr. Engram [45:20]What you will learn in this episode: · [3:17] Dr. Fredrick explains his view on the nomination of Kamala Harris as the first black woman on the national presidential ticket- she is qualified but...· [5:46] Is Kamala Harris qualified as a Black woman or as a political leader?· [7:45] The opposition and challenges Black women leaders face when vying for top political positions.· [11:27] He describes how he got involved in helping Black students get into predominantly white institutions with the right kind of representation.· [18:57] Critical Race Theory- how the issue of race existed to separate classes with lighter skin seen as superior.· [21:45] When the term ‘white people' was constructed and legalized. The difference between the ‘white society' of then and now. · [27:00] Why Black people cannot be racist since whiteness and blackness was constructed by white people to exalt authority. · [30:15] The process of reparations that is needed to at least repair the damage of four hundred years of oppression. · [35:03] The Black Lives Matter movement- the importance of civil rights movements to achieve justice. · [38:00] The individual roles we can play in the Black Lives Matter movement when protesting against the killing of Black people.· [40:19] The significance of the NBA and NFL's contribution to the Black Lives Matter movement by supporting policy changes. · [45:18] Why we need to exercise honesty in what we teach, so we can move forward.Books Mentioned: · Birth of a White Nation: The Invention of White People and Its Relevance Today, Dr. Jacqueline Battalora· Black Labor, White Wealth or PowerNomics, Dr. Claud Anderson · Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing, Dr. Joy DeGruy LearyRelevant Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/FredEngramInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.engram

On this episode of The Afrocentric Social Worker Podcast I talk with nationally and internationally recognized author, researcher and fellow Social Worker, Dr. Joy Degruy. She discusses her work and book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing. I've been talking to a lot of you about the way forward for the black community in the wake of Covid-19 and our continuous trauma of either hearing about or watching the death of black people on TV. Many of you were not familiar with the work of Dr. Degruy had not been introduced to her research in your undergrad or graduate level Social Work programs. This is problematic because we can't fix something that we don't understand. If do not have an appropriate Afrocentric orientation toward our problems, we will continue to use Eurocentric models to fix them. I hope you are able to learn and grow in this episode and develop a greater understanding of 4 concepts that she shares in her book. 1. Vacant Esteem 2. Ever present anger 3. Racial Socialization 4. Respect

This week we define and break down this theory of intergenerational trauma that has been gaining exposure. We focus on specific racial intergenerational trauma as we explain what it is, how is manifests, and the lasting affects it has not only on POC but white people as well. We also break into the genetic impact that trauma has on our DNA...prepare to be shook.Our focus for this week’s show was not only about highlighting and informing people about this type of trauma but to share resources and tools to aid in the HEALING of intergenerational trauma. So, how to heal? Get some books!! There are some great reading materials that could help in a powerful way to find a starting place.

Mirrors of Privilege is a remarkable and engaging film that explores stories from white men and women about their journeys in overcoming issues of unconscious bias and entitlement. From Shakti Butler, director of “Cracking the Codes: The System of Inequity” and “The Way Home: Women Talk About Race in America,” “Mirrors of Privilege” is a must-see for all people who are interested in justice, spiritual growth and community making. This film advances the argument that with transformative learning, a dialogue for learning, changing, healing, and undoing race-based oppression can begin. It features the experiences and stories of White women and men who are social justice advocates. They have worked to gain insight into what it means, as White people, to challenge notions of race, racism, culture and White identity development in the United States. Their shared reflections speak to the denial, defensiveness, guilt, fear and shame often related to these issues and show how these responses can be replaced with solid commitments towards racial justice. Featuring: Dr. Shakti Butler, World Trust founder and Creative Director. Rick Butler; John Scott; Shirley Gutierrez; Peter Shwartz; Stefan Dasho; World Trust (Organization) Film Participants include: Elizabeth Denevi, Jeb Middlebrook, Mary Riordan, Rick Broniec, Marguerite Parks, Peggy McIntosh, Janelle Peterson, Joe Fahey, Gillian Burlingham, Jennifer Juhler, Gary Howard, Tim Wise, Andrea Rabinowitz, Francie Kendall, Dianne Finnerty, Krista Alderson, Kim Irwin ; actors, Aisha Bilal, Judy Blumenfeld, Kumi Oya, Andrew Weed ; dancer, Amara Tabor-Smith.

He shows how the pursuit of external power has produced our survival-of-the-fittest understanding of evolution, generated conflict between lovers, communities,and superpowers, and brought us to the edge of destruction. Using his scientist's eyes and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows how infusing the activites of live and reverence, compassion, and trust makes ;them come alive with meaning and purpose. He illustrates how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages into spiritual partherships, psychology into spiritual psychology, and transforming our everyday lives".Brian Weiss, MD
